Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

-
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is a fun and spectacular film, that takes the two Marvel superheroes on a journey into the quantum realm, where they have to face a new threat: Kang the Conqueror. The film is directed by Peyton Reed and stars Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Jonathan Majors, Michelle Pfeiffer, Michael Douglas and Kathryn Newton.

The film is the sequel to Ant-Man and the Wasp from 2018 and the first of Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The plot follows the adventures of Scott Lang, Hope van Dyne, Cassie Lang, Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne, who accidentally find themselves trapped in the quantum realm and have to find a way back home, while Kang tries to conquer all possible realities.

The film is full of action, humor and fantasy, with breathtaking scenes and impressive special effects. The quantum realm is a wonderful and mysterious place, where strange and surprising creatures are encountered. The film also explores the themes of family, love and responsibility, with well-characterized and likable characters. The relationship between Scott and Hope is sweet and funny, while the one between Scott and Cassie is tender and moving. Hank and Janet are two caring and brave parents, who have a lot to teach their children. Kang is a charismatic and ruthless villain, who puts our heroes to the test.

The film also has hilarious moments of comedy, thanks to the skill of Paul Rudd and the other actors. Among the funniest scenes are those with Veb, Scott’s friend who helps him in his writing business; Quaz, an inhabitant of the quantum realm who allies with the protagonists; Jentorra, a quantum warrior who has a crush on Scott; and Lord Krylar, the ruler of a hostile quantum realm. The film also has a final surprise with the special participation of Bill Murray.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is a film that I recommend to all lovers of Marvel films and to those who want to spend two hours of pure fun. The film also has connections with other films of the MCU, such as Avengers: Endgame and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The film also has two scenes after the credits that anticipate future developments of the saga.

Insidious: The Red door

Insidious: The Red Door is the latest chapter in the horror saga that began in 2010 with Insidious, directed by Patrick Wilson (also starring) and written by Scott Teems from a story by Leigh Whannell. The film takes up the story of the Lambert family, who must face once and for all the demons that haunt them from the world of the afterlife. Josh (Wilson) and Dalton (Ty Simpkins), father and son, must enter deeper than ever into the dark kingdom to discover the secret behind the red door, the source of all their nightmares. The film is proposed as a conclusive finale of the saga, but fails to convince or scare. Wilson's direction is flat and predictable, without the mastery and inventiveness of James Wan and Leigh Whannell, who had been able to create a disturbing and original atmosphere in the first two chapters. The script is confusing and repetitive, recycling the same elements from the previous films without adding anything new or interesting. The characters ar...

The Flash

The Flash is a film that surprised me positively. Not being a big fan of the comic book character, I didn't have high expectations for this film, but I must say that I really enjoyed following the adventures of Barry Allen, played by a charismatic Ezra Miller. The film is based on the famous Flashpoint story arc, in which the protagonist travels back in time to save his mother and creates an alternate world full of dangers and surprises. The film manages to balance action, humor and emotion well, without ever being boring or too confusing. Andy Muschietti's direction is dynamic and engaging, and Benjamin Wallfisch's soundtrack is suitable for various situations. The film also has the merit of exploring the DC Comics multiverse, introducing characters such as Supergirl (Sasha Calle), General Zod (Michael Shannon) and above all Michael Keaton's Batman, who returns to take on the role of the Dark Knight after 30 years . The film is an homage to DC fans, b...

Renfield

Renfield is a horror comedy that tries to reinvent the myth of Dracula from the point of view of his faithful assistant, Renfield. The film, directed by Chris McKay and starring Nicolas Cage and Nicholas Hoult, mixes black humor, action and gore in a story that wants to be funny and original, but that often turns out to be superficial and predictable. The film opens with a flashback that shows how Renfield, an English lawyer, became the familiar of Dracula after meeting him in Transylvania for a real estate matter. Since then, Renfield has served his master for centuries, providing him with human victims and enduring his mistreatment and humiliation. However, Renfield also has a secret life: he has fallen in love with a woman from New Orleans, Lucy (Awkwafina), who believes him to be a normal human. When Dracula discovers Renfield’s relationship, he decides to move to New Orleans to seduce Lucy and destroy his rebellious henchman. Renfield is a film that plays with the clic...
